At least 10 soldiers have been killed in three attacks on army bases in the southern Yemen city of Mukalla, military sources say. The so-called Islamic State (IS) said it was behind at least one of the attacks, a suicide car bombing. The attacks came hours before Yemen PM Ahmed Obeid bin Dagher was due to arrive in Mukalla for a visit.
Officials said a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the gate of a naval base in the Mukalla’s outskirts. Two other explosions were reported to have hit the military headquarters in the city.
